Description
Text and Performance in Contemporary British Theatre explores the complex relationship between theatre texts and their performance. This study examines how these two concepts intersect and inform each other, challenging traditional notions of what it means to be a 'theatre text'.
The author, Catherine Love, interrogates the paradoxical nature of theatre texts, which have been understood both as separate literary objects in their own right and as material for performance. This thought-provoking analysis sheds new light on the ways in which theatre texts are created, performed, and received.
